The man was in critical condition.

It turned out to be expired yogurt in the refrigerator

According to doctors from the ICU District 2 of Qingyuan People's Hospital in Guangdong, they recently received a 27-year-old man named Xiao Ming (pseudonym) who was transferred from Lianshan. When the patient arrived, he had persistent high fever, confusion, and blurred consciousness. The doctor then conducted various tests on the man and finally determined that he was infected with Listeria.
Gong Jianfeng, chief physician of the ICU II of Qingyuan People's Hospital, said: "We asked about his medical history and found that he had drunk expired yogurt before the onset of illness. The onset of the disease is consistent with Listeria infection, with sepsis and intracranial infection." The doctor said that Xiao Ming (pseudonym) had already developed meningitis and sepsis when he was admitted to the hospital, and later developed hydrocephalus. The reason why his condition was so serious was mainly because of his poor body resistance and the fact that he drank expired yogurt containing Listeria.

Listeria is a facultative anaerobic bacterium that is widely found in nature. It can be transmitted through food, orally, through the gastrointestinal mucosa to the lymph nodes, and then enter the blood, causing infection of different organs, or enter the central nervous system through the blood, causing listeria meningitis, which can be life-threatening. Listeria has a strong ability to survive, and is cold-resistant, salt-resistant, acid-resistant, and alkali-resistant. This bacterium can be found in most foods, and dairy products, vegetable salads, ice cream, beef and other foods have a high level of bacteria.
Doctors recommend that people eat well-cooked food, and avoid eating expired or long-stored food, even if it has been kept in the refrigerator.
